Has been useful on AW in the past but nothing for his current stable to make him of interest tonight. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
On a two-year losing spell and current mark reflects a big decline in his form; others preferred. |

19th Feb 2026 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Much better than this on AW in his pomp but there hasn't been much to celebrate in five runs for this yard, including returned to AW when last of seven over C&D two weeks ago; another ease in grade today but he's risky. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Infrequent winner nowadays; faded into fifth of 13 at Hamilton four weeks ago; well below his last winning mark but that reflects a decline in his form. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only won one of his last 28 starts but has slid to a competitive mark as a result and was unlucky not to finish closer behind The Good Biscuit and Jonny Concrete at Chester (hampered late); holds each-way claims. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |

He hasn't been at his best in recent starts but he has dipped to a dangerous mark and he has landed a good draw; this is a tough race in which to try and turn things around though. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
His losing sequence goes back 22 races to February 2024; however, he's often run well in the interim and he's been given a bit of help from the handicapper ahead of this reappearance; can be in the mix if fully tuned up. |
10/1 |

8th 11 (9) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
5yo whose 31 starts have been at 5f-7f and his losing spell goes back to February 2024; however, he's run many big races in the interim, most recently at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in August when finishing strongly for a share of third, and on that evidence this first crack at 1m is well worth a go. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |
6/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Well handicapped on the pick of last year's AW form and he may have needed his comeback run at Thirsk in May; however, this 9yo was well beaten and is without a win on turf since September 2021; others are more compelling. |
40/1 |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Veteran with a mind of his own and refused to leave the parade ring on last intended start in November; however, perfectly capable of a big run off this mark and he's gone well fresh in the past. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time C&D winner; easing mark and back to form, just held by U Sure Do over C&D (good; 25-1) under four weeks ago; is capable of handling easier ground, and well drawn close to the stands' rail in stall 10; stablemate of William Dewhirst. |

2nd 9 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Six-time course winner but well held in his three runs this year and latest was over C&D (good to soft) last month; has form figures of 1242 in this race in the last four years but he needs to turn things around off a sliding mark. |

13th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three turf wins for Charles Hills and feasibly treated on last season's best; should come on for last month's stable debut here but he will need to leave that effort well behind. |
40/1 |

8th 3 (2) |
16th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promise on AW for Charles Hills but his three wins have come on turf; doubt he's handicapped out of things for new yard (sold for 6,000gns in October) but he'll need to be at his best back from 173 days off. |
12/1 |

7th 4 (3) |
27th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has missed two chunks of his career but returned from the latest one in good form, finding plenty to win going away at Newbury before just losing out there in June (both at 6f on good; has won on soft); solid chance under Kieran Shoemark, who is 2-3 on him. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best at 5f, but all his wins have come on AW or good/soft ground on turf; fair third on fast ground at Catterick two runs back (5f) but well beaten after being slowly away and losing a shoe over C&D last week. |

7th 5 (3) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Course scorer who got back on track with third of five in 5f Catterick handicap 13 days ago; needs considering from an easing mark. |
